Apex

We
live on an
orb
in the
vastness 
of the 
void.
Here, 
we
are the
apex 
predator.
Humanity 
has risen
to the 
top
of the 
heap.
We’ve 
organized the
place as 
we
see fit.
Our 
intellect
is unmatched.
We 
thought
we were
the center
of it all.
We, 
are the 
top dog
on a speck.
Perspective,
humility,
understanding 
of our 
true 
insignificance
in existence.
An existence 
we don’t
understand.
An existence 
infinite in nature.
Humanity 
is the 
apex
of insignificance.
The
apex
of nothing!
